An ISP, or Internet Service Provider, is a company that offers individuals and organisations access to the internet and related services, such as email hosting, web hosting, and domain registration. ISPs connect users to the global internet infrastructure via various technologies, including DSL, cable, fibre optics, and satellite, depending on the provider and region. They manage the necessary hardware, networks, and software to deliver internet connectivity, often offering tiered plans based on speed, bandwidth, and customer support levels. ISPs are essential for enabling internet access, playing a key role in digital connectivity for both residential and business users.
WorldLink, Vianet, and NTC are some of the largest ISPs in Nepal. Meanwhile, WiFi Nepal is arguably the most affordable internet provider in the country.
